13 August 2025
Taz Ali takes another 5fer as Warwickshire completed back-to-back Metro Bank One-Day Cup wins with an emphatic 79-run victory over Kent at Rugby School. The Bears totalled 283 for nine largely thanks to Ed Barnard (60 from 68 balls) and Kai Smith 58 (57). On a pitch offering some turn, they coped most capably with a spin attack led by Matt Parkinson, who bowled beautifully for 10-0-36-1. Kent replied with 204 all out, only ever partially recovering from the early straits of 19 for three. Jaydn Denly hit 52 (58) and Harry Finch 50 (62) but leg-spinner Tazeem Ali followed his five for 43 against Northamptonshire last Sunday with five for 54 as the visitors succumbed to their third defeat in three games in the competition.
